New Guy in Norfolk, Virginia

[Robert Perea-Martinez]

Hello everybody I am a new investor currently residing in Norfolk, Virginia. It's such a beautiful thing that you guys have here in the BP community that I felt compelled to join you!
I have absolutely no REI experience but am fully ready to get started. I'd like to perfect being a "transaction engineer" to learn how to generate cash and be able to make REI into a business that I can live off of. Long term I'd like to buy and hold commercial properties in South Florida.
I just came off of 2 back to back deployments with the US Navy during which I spent countless hours reading as many REI books and articles as I could get my hands on. I no longer wish to be watching from the sidelines and would like to get active! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rob
